Murray says: 'It's been a rather long journey, but finally I'm very pleased to announce that SNAKECHARMER are soon to release our new album, 'Second Skin'. Slightly harder edged compared to the debut, but with roots still firmly planted in the classic hard rock vibe with a hint of late '70s AOR, this new record sounds fresh and crisp.

'Second Skin' is the hotly anticipated second effort from SNAKECHARMER and brings the listener straight back to the good old days of real rock n' roll played with heart and soul. Simon was hailed 'among the best blues-rock players anywhere in the world' by Guitarist magazine and has built up an impressive resume playing with outstanding rock, soul, and blues artists. In 2016, Moody left the band and was replaced by the Irish-born Simon McBride on lead guitar. SNAKECHARMER played live shows regularly in support of the album's release and built a solid fanbase in Europe. The band's debut self-titled album was released in 2013 and musically the record showed a finely crafted hard rock style mixed with blues and melodic overtones, akin to Micky and Neil's former band and BAD COMPANY, with hints of early FOREIGNER as well. The British hard rock supergroup SNAKECHARMER was originally founded in 2011 by former WHITESNAKE members Micky Moody and Neil Murray along with the perfect mix of high-caliber musicians, including Laurie Wisefield ( WISHBONE ASH), Harry James ( THUNDER, MAGNUM), Adam Wakeman ( OZZY OSBOURNE),and Chris Ousey ( HEARTLAND). The song 'Follow Me Under', taken from 'Second Skin', can be streamed below. Frontiers Music Srl will release SNAKECHARMER's sophomore album, 'Second Skin', on May 12.
